Great pics! I'm super bummed I missed this, again. My work schedule changed and my kids' fall break was this past week so our vacation travel plans had to change and obviously I couldn't make it. Barring some unforeseen loss of my 70 series, I'm there next year, 100%. You can take that to the bank.

Great event. Thanks to @woody , @cruiserdan , @Gus , and @Beastiethe70 for the fun times on the trail! Here are some additional pics including some from the way there...
Camped with @Dan2722 , @bushdoctor , and @Loober near Toroweap Lookout after making our way there through the Arizona Strip. What an amazing place!
@Loober and a pretty good sunrise!
Starting to get a bit dirty
@Gus with @cruiserdan at the "top of the world", Sand Hollow style.
Stuff happens, winches were deployed
Here's a link to a video of Gus tackling an "off camber, 4 wheel drift, watch out for that rock" obstacle.
@Beastiethe70 taking on the steep stuff
Getting a bit tippy...
There were stories of @woody clearing this in his BJ74. We (thankfully) chose another line.
@woody in his backyard
With @woody 's expert spotting, we made it through some white knuckle (at least for me) stuff.
Regretted airing up after a few days below 20psi and ~200 miles on dirt

Is anyone going to step forward and put this event together for 2019? Based on the "east coast" version, there is an interest in this type of event dedicated to the 70 Series.
I agree it was a good time last year and we should keep it going. Assuming it will be around the oct/nov time frame again, the southern cali deserts are nice that time of year. @Beastiethe70 led the org effort last year, not sure if she plans on assuming that role again, but I can take the lead on planning something here since I am local and know the area well. I know of a few local 70s owners that would probably partake it being in their back yard. The group that participated last year didn't seem to mind a long commute either. So what's everyone's interest level if we do it in Socal this year?
If it’s in socal, count me in.
Although we can't match the desert motif of the "west event" if you're up for a road trip you're are certainly welcome to join us for the "east event". We have trees.
